That Big Sony PlayStation Physical Media Reversal Rumor Looks Fake

<p>A rumor exploded online claiming Sony is reconsidering its plans for physical PlayStation games because Microsoft is supposedly pitching its next Xbox as &quot;100% physical.&quot; There&#39;s just one problem: when you trace the story back, the claims are still completely unverified.The reports appear to originate from Gamescom chatter discussed on Eurogamer Spain&#39;s podcast before being amplified across gaming sites and social media. Sony hasn&#39;t announced any change to its physical game plans, Microsoft hasn&#39;t announced Project Helix as a &quot;100% physical&quot; console, and other outlets are now questioning whether the story makes sense at all.So let&#39;s break down what was actually said, where this rumor came from, and why I&#39;m extremely skeptical of this Sony story.</p>
